Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) is a well-established, non-destructive method that delivers continuous, real-time data on the elemental composition of bulk materials. PGNAA, which penetrates deep into the material stream, enables accurate assessment of essential elements, resulting in improved process control, material optimization, and overall operational efficiency.
The Thermo Scientific™ CB Omni™ Agile Online Elemental Cross-Belt Analyzer uses PGNAA technology to provide minute-by-minute elemental analysis for raw material process streams. Designed for flexibility, the system is lightweight, easy to install, and extremely adjustable, making it suitable for industries that rely on real-time information to fine-tune operations.
The CB Omni Agile is applicable across a wide variety of sectors, including mining, cement production, sinter manufacturing, and minerals processing, and measures a broad spectrum of elements, including Si, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, K, Na, S, and Cl. These measurements allow for more accurate feed management, improved blending techniques, and superior material quality.
The CB Omni Agile analyzer's real-time analytical features enable operators to:
- Improve product consistency by accurately blending and sorting
- Enhance decision-making with real-time elemental data
- Lower energy consumption by optimizing material feed
- Minimize raw material waste by obtaining accurate chemistry control
- Minimize process variability to provide more stable and efficient operations
Key Features Include:
- Selection of industry-specific software packages for automated process control
- Configurable detector arrangement (one, two, or four large-volume NaI scintillation gamma-ray detectors) for increased precision
- Lightweight, modular design for easy installation and relocation
- Real-time, precise, and uniform elemental measurement for immediate process control adjustments
- Source flexibility (radioisotope or neutron generator) offers a safe, cost-effective solution for every method
- Significant configurability to satisfy unique process control needs for optimal performance in a wide range of applications
Examples Applications
- Mill optimization
- Quarry/mine stockpile management
- Raw mix control for cement plants
